zalux Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I can't see my HDD when I open disk utility to install Leopard. So, I can't install it. How can I do? My HDD is SATA.

bradL Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I'm having the same issue.

UnaClocker Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 iAtkos distro's do that on my main machine. All the other distro's work fine. Download a different version. iDeneb for example..

hindug Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Try going into BIOS and see if you can set the SATA Controller to ATA. By default my sata controller was set to ACHI. When I changed it to ATA, it was recognized in DU with Kalyway 10.5.2 GOOD LUCK!!!1!

Treyboy7 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Umm you goto disk utility and you gotta goto erase and clean out your whole hard drive switch where it says MS-DOS Fat or something like that and switch it to Mac OS Journaled (extended) then click erase it will erase everything in your hard drive or partition then it should be there Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/126722-i-cant-see-my-hdd-while-installing-leopard-1054/#findComment-900783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacNutty Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Try Kalyway 10.5 distro it recognises almost all drives including NTFS partitions. Atleast mine did.
